I'm worried about this outcome for my 4-year-old. He needs several hours a day to run himself tired or he acts like a crazy person. I don't think that means he is a crazy person, or has ADHD, or whatever. I think it just means he needs to run himself tired for several hours a day. Hell, I'd probably be saner and healthier if I did the same.
Meanwhile the kindergarten he'll attend has cut recess to once per day, something like 20-25min, and if they do indoor "recess" due to weather they often just watch a movie. Even if he cools off some by the time he goes, he's gonna need like 4x that much running around outside or in a gym per day, minimum, to not end up medicated or constantly in trouble.
